The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Convert the integer part. The integer part is \[ 12_{10}=1100_2. \]

Step 2:
Convert the fractional part. The fractional part is \[ 0.125. \] Multiply successively by \(2\): \[ 0.125\times2=0.25\quad\Rightarrow\quad0 \] \[ 0.25\times2=0.5\quad\Rightarrow\quad0 \] \[ 0.5\times2=1.0\quad\Rightarrow\quad1 \] Hence, \[ 0.125_{10}=0.001_2. \] Therefore, \[ 12.125_{10}=1100.001_2. \] Thus, \[ \boxed{1100.001} \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{(B)} \] is the correct answer.
